mythos

That Darth Vader revelation altered the drama from political animosity to Oedipal mythos.

There’s a symmetry, a kind of eternal beauty to their mythos that is irresistible.

I’m thinking here of the distinction Karen Armstrong makes between “mythos,” which makes sense of the world and our place in it, and “logos,” which makes sense of how things in the world work.

So mythos is there in the background, at the very least, and the right pushes it into the foreground with their argument that the problem is really government in the first place, and all those people they scapegoat for trying to get something from government.

There seems to be a natural affinity between “mythos” on the right and “logos” on the left.
